Two days ago, we took Zowie to the vet because he could not urinate. X-rays showed that his urethra was plugged by kidney stones and Zowie was rushed off to Colorado State University for surgery. When I met with the surgeon yesterday, she showed me the stones that they removed from Zowie's urethra and bladder. As you can see, the largest are about 1/4" by 1/4". Ouch!
Zowie will be out of commission for a month, which is a bummer as he has been running well.
